Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry

Have you ever found yourself strapped for time and need to prepare dinner in a hurry?
I made this Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry a few nights ago and I thought this is perfect for those nights when you need to feed yourself or even your family in a jiffy.
This recipe is great because you have both your meat and vegetable proteins in one dish.
You may of course add red capsicums for added colour and nutrients and thicken the sauce with cornstarch, but I didn't.

Serve it with plain steamed rice.

Ingredients

250gm store bought pre-cut stir fry beef

2 tbsp soy sauce, divided

2 tbsp fish sauce, divided

2 tbsp worcestershire sauce, divided

2 tbsp oyster sauce, divided

4 cups fresh broccoli florets

1 big onion, sliced

2 pips garlic, finely chopped

1 cm ginger, finely sliced

oil

water

Method

Marinate beef with a tablespoon each of soy , fish, worcestershire and oyster sauce.

Heat some oil in a wok and over medium heat, stir fry beef till it is cooked and no longer pink.

Remove and keep warm.

Heat some oil again and saute the onion, garlic and ginger.

Add in the broccoli and stir fry briefly.

Then add some water and the remaining sauces to the broccoli and cook till broccoli is tender but crisp.

Lastly add the beef to the broccoli, remove from heat and serve with warm steamed rice.
